Vocabulary Learning
🌍 Action Words in the Past
When we tell stories or report news, we change the action word (verb) to show it already happened. Look at these changes from the text:
- Say Said
- Steal Stole
- Fall Fell
- Win Won
How to use this: If you want to talk about yesterday, don't use the same word you use for today.
- Today: I win the game.
- Yesterday: I won the game.
Quick Tip: Notice how "Save" becomes "Saved". Some words just need a -d or -ed at the end. This is the easiest way to move your English from a basic level to A2!
